Notes
- Note that the distinction between set and sequence refers to the importance of order information to evaluate if the response is correct or not; a response with a set structure may unfold over time (each piece of information is given in a particular temporal order) and it may be of scientific interest to take into account that order; however, the order itself is not important within the task itself. For example, in the MOT task one may ask subjects to point to all dots that hide a token. If subjects point to all such dots they will be correct no matter in which order the dots were clicked in.
